Abstract
We demonstrate an optical access networks architecture uniquely enabled by CMOS compatible silicon micro-rings. The wavelength selective behavior of micro-ring modulators enables single-sideband modulation, which simultaneously generates downstream signals and centrally distributed carriers for upstream re-modulation.
